AWKWARD, STEAMY & GUILTY PLEASURE DRAMA !
I feel the synopsis gives a fair idea of what to expect from this drama. I started this show under the assumption that I won't really like it that much....however to my surprise it wasn't "that" bad. Rather, this is the perfect mini series to binge after an emotionally draining show or when searching for something exciting. The following is my takeaway of what to expect from this show:
P.S: This show will only appeal to hardcore romance drama/shoujo manga fans. People who usually watch serious, action, thriller, melodrama etc kind of dramas might find this series silly. These people have been warned.
YUP :)
1) Steam Galore: Tired of watching prude-esque Korean romantic dramas? Worry not...jdorama to your rescue. This show will give everyone a good dose of skinship. The main charm of the show are the sensual scenes between the leads....and I must say I wasn't disappointed.
2)No Stress: There is no complication in the story line. Its rather a simple, straight forward drama with no antagonist per se. So audiences will be spared of angst.
3) Good Production: The show doesn't seem low budget, given that they did not have many site change. They definitely made the best of the budget they had.
4) High Re-watch Value: We only re-visit shows that are either memorable for how intelligent they were or the ones that made us feel nice. This show falls in the second category. It starts fast but by the end we are left feeling warm and fuzzy.
NOPE :(
1) Fast Paced: Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but people like me who enjoy witnessing a relationship bloom gradually might find this story on steroids. Its crazy fast and at times gave me second hand embarrassment.
2)TROPE-Y: The whole show is nothing but a mixture of tropes and cliches. If people are looking forward to something unique then this show isn't for you. This show is everything we have read in shoujo manga/rom-com shows hundred times.
3) Average Actors: I felt that the actors were average. Neither of the cast member will catch your attention. This doesn't mean that they acted bad or were cast wrongly, it just means that the script did not give them the room to show their acting chops.
